- Strangely funny considering the subject matter, this exchange from Chapter 2:“You should have left me there!” he snarled. “Why did you not leave me there?”
Valjean looked at him with a hint of horror in his expression, drawing away as if singed. “But—you would have died!”
Javert’s chuckles turned into a growl as he grabbed him by the collar. “That was the point!” - Some of the author's end-of-chapter notes are little jokes about events from the chapter (some of which could probably be made their own points on this page, such as the first chapter 65 one). An incomplete list of examples:
- From chapter 5Javert: *rolls up to the prefecture building* Hey yeah could I get uhhhhhhhhhh ... dismissed from duty
Gisquet: Dismissal machine broke
Javert: Understandable. Have a nice day - From chapter 31Javert: Gentlemen, plz don't convict my boyfriend because he is good and decent and I will be sad :(
Gisquet: WHAT WOULD JESUS DO - This gem from chapter 39Leroux: So word around the office is that ur a virgin??
Javert: Leroux. I want you to look at me. Deep into my eyes
Javert: Does this look like the face of someone who cares - Also from chapter 39Leroux: The risk I took was calculated, but man am I bad at math.
- From chapter 42Valjean: *reaches level 10 friendship*
Javert: Congratulation. You have unlocked my tragic backstory
Valjean: What?
Javert: I WAS BORN WITH SCUM LIKE YOU; I AM FROM THE GUTTER TOO - From chapter 50Thenardier: Excuse me, I lost my daughter. Can I make an announcement?
Jail Guard: Yeah, sure
Thenardier: *leans into mic*
Thenardier: Goodbye you little shit - From chapter 65Javert: *sees his lieutenant flirting with the daughter of the guy who tried to stab him to death*
Javert, internally: *repeating a mantra in his head as he chugs copious amounts of alcohol* If you see something, say nothing, and drink to forget - Also from chapter 65Javert: I'M GONNA CHOKE THAT GUY TO DEATH FOR YOUR HONOR
Valjean: Jesus christ, honey, calm down and have a baguette
- From chapter 5
